Jquery Ajax Post fails with sending html content

Question

$("#btnSend").click(function(){
    $.ajax({
       url         : "/ControllerName/MethodName",
       type        : "POST",
       dataType    : "json",
       contentType : "application/html",
       data        : '{ divhtml:"<p>World</p>" }'

    });
});

Passes null to the action method. Tried to change the content type to json. Started giving errors. What's the proper way?

With JSON, keys are supposed to enclosed in quotes. Don't hardcode the string either, use JSON.stringify({key: value}) — Brad M

Try using url: '@Url.Action("ControllerName", "ActionName")' and then let me know — Husrat Mehmood

Change data: line. It should be. Without ''.

$("#btnSend").click(function(){
    $.ajax({
       url         : "/ControllerName/MethodName",
       type        : "POST",
       dataType    : "json",
       contentType : "application/json",
       data        : { 'divhtml':"<p>World</p>" }

    });
});

Already went for stringify and sorted. But, I gave yours a try. Passing null. But it works if I change it to: data:"{ divhtml:'"<p>World</p>"' }", and contentType: "application/json".

May be because your response is in json and you were trying to catch a html ones. because that it may be worked when u changed it to: ontentType: "application/json"
